In older versions of Stata there used to be a way to display a
distribution
as a second plot at the top of the graph. Is there still a way to do
that
in Stata 9, perhaps as an overlay? I couldn't find information on
this in
my searches.
[g] graph combine shows how to create one of the graphs on the Stata
9 poster: a scatterplot with histograms of the X and Y as borders.
The enclosed does not do a perfect job, but with some tweaking...
